Esta es mi versión del "Riffle 'n' Roll" de Jack Carpenter, de su libro "El portafolio del experto n.º 1". Soy fan de la obra de Carpenter y recomiendo cualquiera de sus libros.
La razón principal por la que ideé esta versión es que su método me parecía un poco engorroso al mantener múltiples frenos. Esta versión elimina ese problema, pero con el gasto de usar una tarjeta con un engarce de ventilación.
Citando de “La cartera del experto n.º 1”:
Efecto: This is one-riffle fast stack of four aces for five hands. There is a huge amount of work in the literature on this one plot, most notably that of Ed Marlo, Karl Fulves, Darwin Ortiz, and Martin Nash.
I have not review all of the other work, so I can’t claim that my version is unique, but I did come up with it on my own.
The Work: Start by having one card with a breather crimp. For this explaination I will assume the three of hearts has the breather crimp. The work is in the back of the card so that this card will be cut to the bottom. Have the spectator shuffle the deck, then take the deck and cut the three of hearts to the bottom of the deck.
Now spread through the deck and remove the four aces, placing them face up on the table.
What I do next is that I simply overhand shuffle four cards to the bottom of the deck by running four cards, then on the fifth I milk the three of hearts, then shuffle off. The key is to have four cards below the three, doing so in an innocuous manner. You could also do this by cutting four cards from the top to the bottom, or with a riffle shuffle.
All of the above is simple the preamble. As far as the spectator is concerned you haven’t started the trick yet. So you now start to explain how a cheat would shuffle the cards so that the cheat would have all four aces arrive in his hand.
At this point place the aces face down on top of the deck, getting a break under the top two. Double cut these two aces to the bottom. At this point you have two aces on top, and on the bottom you have the Three of hearts, four indifferent cards, and two aces.
Place the deck on the table in position for a riffle shuffle. With the right hand riffle up the back of the cards in preparation for the shuffle. As the right fingers separate the cards, press the left thumb into the break and let four more cards riffle off the right thumb and take a break with the right thumb above these four cards while simultaneously holding on to them with the right hand.
Now split the deck apart to begin the riffle shuffle.
The right hand block has two aces on top and is holding four indifferent cards at the bottom.
The left hand has the crimp card, with four indifferent cards, then the other two aces at the bottom.
Start the shuffle by dropping the four bottom cards from the right hand, followed by at least seven cards off the left hand bottom. Then shuffle until you have only four cards left in the left hand and at least two (the aces) in the right.
Drop all of the right hand cards, then end the shuffle by dropping the four cards from the left hand, and square up.
Tell the audience that you just stacked the deck with one shuffle, but in poker the shuffle is followed by cuts. The crimped Three is a bit to low in the deck, so you will do two cuts, the first to center the three. Cut about a quarter of the deck to the table and finish the cut.
Now cut to the crimped card to bring it to the bottom.
The rest of the work is just like it is described in Carpenter’s book. Deal normally for the first round, deal seconds for the second round, normal for the third round, and seconds for the fourth round.
